The Peace Pledge Union and Every Casualty Counts are holding a vigil at DSEI, 9.30am – 10.30am at the west entrance to ExCel. As arms dealers queue to enter DSEI, they will be forced to listen to stories of people who lost their lives to armed conflict last year. Wreaths will be laid for the victims, and moments of silence held. Every 12 minutes a siren will mark another civilian life lost to armed conflict (as per ECC’s figures for 2024).
